If your intention is to make your scripting engine standard in GRUB,
I'd recommend considering what you really want to do with a scripting

is.

My motivation is an automatisation of booting e.g. run different
commands depending on circumstances (time, system crash, wake-on-...,
undoing booting preparation(hide,unhide,...))

I'm also curious about this. Could you provide some easily understood
examples (in the syntax of your choosing)? What I mean is: if your
ideal script engine were already part of GRUB, what scripts would you
use with it? Don't just describe them; instead put them into an email.
